So I was going off Grossi's original post, which was $30M for comp, not $20M. I think he revised it.
Giants have to be willing to fire Schoen.
The reversal of fortunes would certainly be an interesting twist. Would take a lot of putting down your pride from McDaniel for that to work I’d guess
It’s my main concern because I’m tired of the constant changing of offensive coordinator and identity. I would think they would prioritize this and get someone who could solve this issue but I understand trying to find the best guy for the job.
From Biscotti's perspective, he probably looking for the best guy to be able to manage the team/business first and foremost and anything else that comes with that is merely an additional benefit.
This isn’t how I would be approaching it. I would rather think of what my weakness is as an organization and solve that (finding and keeping offensive minded coaches/schemes). The Ravens have a great history of finding, developing and implementing defensive minded coaches and schemes. So I would focus elsewhere now. Maybe that’s backwards but idk.

Have you heard anything on LaFleur, Stefanski, or McDaniel?
Yeah I agree. And even if he does that. He long is he willing to take the back seat as OC again. If he’s even willing to.
I don’t get the infatuation with Stefanski tbh. The other two are slam dunks imo

Oh I’m not interested in Stefanski as much as I’m curious if the team is

Which is another reason Atlanta might be the perfect spot for him. As I mentioned, Atlanta has the players for him to simulate what he had in Baltimore. Now if he wants his own GM, then as you said they have to be willing to fire Schoen.
They would have fired him already if they truly wanted to fire him and not have him lead the Head Coaching search. Since Miami hired a GM, only place left with a GM opening where he can choose his own GM is Atlanta. Look for Chad Alexander who is assistant GM for the Chargers who John is familiar with to be the GM in Atlanta or wherever John lands.
that should be a big negative for his candidacy though
like he's clearly got great qualities but if this is something they have to say then that should be close to disqualifying in the modern NFL

Reading this article about Stefanski and Sanders and Gabriel makes me very concerned about him as our HC. It’s due to the issue of Sanders holding onto the ball and how he didn’t fit his system as well when we have Lamar Jackson at QB who has been
They suppose to be friends so it's likely yes

Well tbf Lamar holds the ball too long and too consistently.
One reason I want an offensive coach, is so they can HOPEFULLY pound into Lamar’s head the importance of staying on schedule as often as possible, and call plays to accommodate that.
And I'm sure that's going to be part of the consideration, but it's also up to the candidates to sell themselves at that point. Not many people question that Monken and even Roman had great and highly functional offenses for at least a couple of seasons, but they stagnated and fizzled out and that's why we are where we are.
What if you hire Kubiak (just picking a name for the sake of the argument) and he suffers the same fate... a couple of great years and then he fizzles out? You put yourself in the same position you are today. That's where it's going to be on these guys to come and state what they can do for the team today, but also how they see the league trending and how they can stay ahead of the curve.
Just playing devil's advocate here... if you have someone that isn't some whiz on either side of the ball, but represents the culture you want, how do they respond? Do they value a pipeline of coaches that can consistently keep that identity going, much like we have defensively until the Orr hiring?
For what it's worth, I generally prefer that we have someone that specializes so we can keep some of that consistency as well. But I also don't see a reason to pigeonhole it. I don't think it makes much sense to go from a Harbaugh to a similar style of leader if we're truly looking for change, but I also understand why you'd highly consider those guys, because it has been a success. Just because Harbaugh petered out here at the end doesn't mean that style doesn't still have its place here.
Haven't heard a thing on any of them, which does not mean a thing either.
Depends where they place their value though. If it's a culture setter that they want and they trust him to put the right guys around himself...

Falcons owner is begging Harbaugh to coach his team. LOL.
I don't think he works for our franchise just cuz his offensive style but I totally disagree about not getting the infatuation he is an INCREDIBLE coach.
Only coach in browns history to have a slimmer of success. Two time coach of the year. Has to work with one of if not the most toxic gms and owners in the entire league. Coached a team that fairly beat the chiefs in the divisional and got robbed off the Bs penalty. Has beaten the Steelers once per year with a far inferior team often. Has beaten Joe burrow ever single year and owned him. Has cooked Lamar or the ravens once a year too. Owner and gm go completely against what he wants specially at qb. Takes baker to elite seasons and they trade him. Great leader of men. He is an incredible option.
Just not with Lamar's style.
Hahaha it's cuz A blank thinks Lamar is a bum who's worse than D riddler. Probably thinks harbs is a god for taking us to the playoffs
